October 11, 2024 Something is happening in the Scorched Wilds. There is a battle raging between a familiar force and an unfamiliar one. What will you do? Help or hinder?

October 1, 2024 Spooky things are happening as the afterlife start walking among the living once again.

September 30, 2024 Louve Dieudonné manages to keep Wolfbron Bluffs in the family. What will happen between the Bluffs and the otherwise peaceful pride of Lorien Plains?

September 20, 2024 Ilarion Rurik challenges for Wolfbron, will the Dieudonné lead pride fall?

September 8, 2024War broke out once again in the Lagoon when a wedding had some uninvited guest arrive. The war results in the most death matches the island has seen at once. The Summit was challenged by Brighid with Talisa answering the call. After many years of the Summit have the same two leaders, the Summit changes hands. What will this mean for the balance of Amaryllis? A witch hunt has started by Luther and Miaran which seems to be turning things on an island that is full of magic.

August 25, 2024 War broke out in the challenge for the Lagoon after Cassius tries to take the Lagoon from Isla. The Cove remains with Miaran. The leadership of the Mire switches from Sigrún hold to Rike when Luther comes back to take his birthland back. Elephants push into the Rainforest and push out the lions there. Soon after Lucifer lays claim to his birthland and takes over the Rainforest.

June 27, 2024 Conflict and tensions rise as prides come head-to-head with one another across Amaryllis - just as Pyrrha and Cassius take the leap to try and claim (or reclaim) their own thrones.

May 24, 2024 Rulers continue to shift, family strife ensues, and, per usual, tensions seems taunt and always lingering on the horizon.

April 24, 2024 Things are rocky within Amaryllis as the Dieudonne clash result in three deaths and forces a shift in the rulership of Firnen Rainforest. With Caladan Cove freshly overturned as well, what will the consequenecss of these events be?

March 30, 2024 The lull has ended as a long standing family, the Dieudonné, launch death matches against their own. The Plains sees a challenge from a new comer, Aphrodite, and the quite pride is pushed into the spotlight.

March 19, 2024 A momentary lull has overtaken the lands of Amaryllis as its inhabitants attempt to find their footing and rebuild after a string of challenges. How long it will last, however, nobody can be quite sure.

February 11, 2024 The Mire has fallen from the Stärke family and is now held by Luther Rike. The change has stirred but the fighting nature of those on the island. The Brook finds a new leader with Icefang and Isla takes over the Lagoon after a storm pushes out the old leader. Reti finds himself the leader of the Hollows after Alexander is hurt. The Oasis finds a new leader in Léonie who is soon tested by Harou.

January 8, 2024 The snow has finally begun to melt anew, which means that the world is slowly returning to the much-anticipated summer season. With the various holiday activities and the other jests put on by Nafasi also coming to a close, it is safe to say that winter is finally over.

December 5th, 2023 Nafasi had pulled a cruel trick and has sent Amaryllis back into a renewed winter season! But it's not all bad, because the lands will also see a handful of holiday-themed events popping up as a result. To make things more interesting, a wayward trio of travlers have also arrived and are facilitating a mass competition between the prides, bands, and rogues -- formally dubbed the Amaryllis Winter Games.

December 2nd, 2023 The spring air brings forth a number of pride challenges. A familiar challenger for the Cove and the Oasis arrive to try to earn what they want. The new leader of the Lagoon is tested in battle as well. What changes will come from the challenges? Who will remain standing and who will find their world turned upside down?

November 27th, 2023 In a challenge between mother and daughter, the leadership of Wolfbron Bluff changes for the first time in 5 IC years.

November 22nd, 2023 Two death matches, one resurrection, and an almost-war later, the lands find themselves in a constant state of turmoil and calamity. Families have been torn apart and endless blood has been spilt; but how is it all going to end?

November 3rd, 2023 The lands stir violently as a death match rages on between Aeistrios Saxe and Morrigan Greyflood. Observers spill into the pit in droves to witness what will no doubt be a historic battle -- and it is clear that this familial fued is far from over, no matter who wins and who dies.

October 12th, 2023 With winter comes the surge of more pride challenges; Ludivine challenges Ryker for Firnen Rainforest and is victorious in her endeavors, meanwhile an outcropping of maims breaks out on the sidelines. In a shocking turn of events Luther returns to challenge Bruno for Ecrosia Mire, will the former heir prove victorious or has Bruno got what it takes to keep his brother's ambitions at bay? This has undoubtedly shaken things up as Bruno declares war against Andal Oasis and Allies in the process!

Spring
The rain is slowly peetering out across the lands, though it is still heaviest in the east and lightest in the west. Thankfully, however, the temperature is steadly rising and the sun no longer hides behind the clouds. In celebration of the new season, the vegetation is alive and lush and plants are growing wildly across the valley. Spring is in the air!

Ilarion was... confused.

He'd come down here to let off a little steam; hunt, exercise, distract himself - most likely a combination of all of the above. The Rurik had expected to find ample opportunity to do just that - these fields were plentiful, and had never let him down before. Nearing the watering hole, Ilarion would linger at the base of the green slopes, casting an eye out over his surroundings... Only to pause. What? He frowned, his attention following an odd spherical shape bobbing along the surface. "Huh." That certainly couldn't be mistaken for a crocodile. At first glance it could have perhaps been the rump of a drowned gazelle, but as he got closer and took in more details it very evidently was not. Especially as more came up to the surface - two, then three, then several dozen. "The fuck?" He blinked owlishly as one rolled up onto shore, sodden and lumpy - still intact, but barely. The Rurik grimaced, clearly unimpressed at the sight of it.

The bearish man looms and leers, following lazily in his husband's wake. It's not quite protectiveness that tugs him along, bur maybe something close. Something more than bland curiousity, surely. Ilarion was long past the stage of healing wounds and needing to worry after him like a mother hen, yet kazimir follows still.

And so, when the pumpkin washes ashore, he can't help but bark a laugh.

I knew you were a fine hunter, comes his boorish purr, handsome features alight in a wide simper. But this might be your best trophy yet. Even as he says it he steps forward, though not cloae enough to touch the pumpkin. Or sniff it. Instead he simply looks, his lopsided smirk fading to something a bit more... digusted.

What is it? Or, rather, what was it?

The familiar rumble of his dear husband had Ilarion immediately casting a look over his shoulder, greedily watching the movements of the other man as he came to join him. His teasing - harmless though it may be - would earn a grumble, velveteen muzzle wrinkling into a scowl. "Once again you mock me," the brute huffed, petulant, "what do I do to deserve this, hm?" The dark beast took a small side step, giving Kaz a little more room to come closer and investigate. "I don't know," he admitted in response to the question. He poked at it with an extended digit, feeling a little nauseous at the way the skin of the plant - bloated with moisture - wobbled. Disgusting. "I bet they are rancid. Rotten, with being in the water for so long." With a jilted nod Ilarion gestured out to the other pumpkins, bobbing up and down in the still pool like buoys.

Kazimir needles less because it's fun ( though it is, indeed, fun ) and more just because he can. With their history it would be easy to fall into the melodrama of it all, and call him a sucker, but he treasures these easy moments of commrodrey. Others perhaps would look at their relationship and not see true, real, love-- but those people were blind. What they shared was textbook; living, breathing, definitions of love.

And this is how he chose to express it.

His nose wrinkles even more when ilarion points out the obvious. From a distance they'd only seemed strange and spherical; from up close, the Augur can see how they've been misshappened. Gourd skin is stretched tight over portions where it bubbles out, the gasses inside making it expand. Disgusting.... and strange.

Should we leave them in there? He asks with a tilt of his great head. Would it be worth fishing them out...? Or would they be best left to rot in their watery grave?

Kazimir does not respond, and Ilarion simply purses his lips together and pointedly sent a stare his husbands way before conceding and focusing back on the matter at hand. These pumpkins were weird and smelly, but the opportunity seemed too good to pass up - what if there was something exciting or worthwhile within? Sadly it was more likely to just be squishy, stinky fibrous material than anything else, but... Hell, Ilarion had wanted a distraction - this worked as well as anything else might. He tapped the washed-up pumpkin with a tail. Gut this one, Ilarion instructed, I will fish out another. And so he did; wading in until the water reached his stomach, then using his front paw to guide another bloated gourd out of the pool and onto dry land. Now that they each had one to contend with, he looked to Kazimir, before unsheathing his claws and using them to - as precariously as he could - let out some of the contents of his spoils....

Yummy.

double, double toil and trouble;
fire burn, and cauldron bubble...

Nafasi watches from the bushes, never once letting herself be seen by those huddled around her perfectly-placed pumpkins. They really were a curious bunch, weren't they? But, unfortunately for them, the sprite was feeling extra mischievous today, and had a trick up her sleeve! And so, with a small grin, the being tilted her maw down towards the earth, eyes glowing, before she gave a pointed flicker of her tail and brought her vision to life in the process.

Uh oh...

A disturbing green fog begins to swirl and escape out of the top of the pumpkin, and with it comes a terrible (and I mean terrible) odour. In fact, the smell is so bad that your eyes immediately begin to water and your stomach starts doing backflips. It's completely foul -- and to make matters worse, seconds later the pumpkin EXPLODES, covering you in a mix of pulp, seeds, and a smell that rivals the worst of any skunk spray.
